Pet Portrait Kinusaiga

Explore the Japanese art of Kinusaiga (quilt without thread) and create a custom portrait of your pet, designed by The Dabbler's Collective.
About this Event

At this workshop, we will be exploring the Japanese art of Kinusaiga or "quilting without thread." This process involves carving a design into foam or wood (this part will be done for you ahead of time) and tucking pieces of fabric into the shapes of the design to create a textured, quilt-inspired art piece.

Guests will submit photo references of their pet ahead of the class, and we will design and carve a custom portrait of your pet for you to bring to life in our workshop session utilizing our wonder-filled bins of fabric scraps. Each piece is customizable and unique, and the process is very beginner-friendly!

Projects will be 8"x8" and will come with a wooden frame for hanging (pictured.)

Please email 2-3 photos of your pet to [email protected] by August 17th to allow me time to design and carve your pieces.

Please note: since the canvases are only 8"x8", and finer details add a fair bit of difficulty, we can only include one pet per project for this workshop.
